Tuesday 13 June

starts the 100-Day Countdown

to the International Day of Peace (IDP) (#PeaceDay) 2023.

The International Day of Peace was established in 1981

by the United Nations General Assembly.

Two decades later, in 2001, the General Assembly

unanimously voted to designate the Day

as a period of non-violence and cease-fire.

The Day is devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace,

through observing 24 hours of non-violence and cease-fire.

Never has our world needed peace more.

This year’s theme is

ACTIONS FOR PEACE: Our Ambition for the #GlobalGoals.

It is a call to action that recognizes

our individual and collective responsibility

to foster peace.

Out of 100, Only 8 live >65 years of age.

Hats off to whoever has compiled this statistics! Read and understand how lucky we are!!

The current population of Earth is around 7.8 billion.
For most people, it is a large figure, that is all.

However, someone has condensed the 7.8 billion in the world into 100 persons,
and then into various percentage statistics.
The resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

Out of 100 persons:
11 are in Europe
5 are in North America
9 are in South America
15 are in Africa
60 are in Asia

Out of 100 persons:
49 live in the countryside
51 live in towns/ cities

Out of 100 persons:
77 have their own houses
23 have no place to live.

Out of 100 persons:
21 are over-nourished
63 can eat full
15 are under-nourished
1 ate the last meal, but did not make it to the next meal.

Out of 100 persons:
The daily cost of living for 48 is less than US $2.

Out of 100 persons:
87 have clean drinking water
13 either lack clean drinking water or have access to a water source that is polluted.

Out of 100 persons:
75 have mobile phones
25 do not.

Out of 100 persons:
30 have internet access
70 do not have conditions to go online

Out of 100 persons:
33 are Christians

14 are Hindus
7 are Buddhists
12 are other religions
12 have no religious beliefs.

Out of 100 persons:
26 live less than 14 years
66 died between 15 – 64 years of age
8 are over 65 years old.

Out of100 persons in the world, only 8 can live or exceed the age of 65.

Conclusion
If you have your own home,
Eat full meals and drink clean water,
Have a mobile phone,
Can surf the internet, and
have gone to college,
You are in the miniscule privileged lot.
(in the less than 7% category)

If you are over 65 years old. Be content and grateful. Cherish life, grasp the moment.

You did not leave this world before the age of 64 years like the 92 persons who have gone before you. You are already the blessed amongst mankind.

Take good care of your own health because nobody cares more than you yourself!

“Thank nature for all the Blessings”
Cherish every Moment?

Out of 100 people only 8 live after 65 and more statistics, however Important Note: Good News didn’t compile this information so please review with your own heart and mind. FYI

KMART® AND MARCH OF DIMES® CELEBRATE $100 MILLION RAISED FOR HEALTHY BABIES
March of Dimes Presents $1 Million Grant in Honor of Kmart Fundraising Milestone

Hoffman Estates, Ill. (April 11, 2012) – In one of the most significant fundraising achievements by one company for a singular cause, Kmart announced it has reached the $100 million fundraising milestone in support of March of Dimes. After nearly three decades of charitable giving by its customers and associates, March of Dimes will recognize Kmart for its fundraising efforts with a $1 million grant in honor of the retailer for transdisciplinary research into premature birth. The grant will help fund clinical studies with scientists from different fields working together to investigate areas including maternal genetic biomarkers, placental function and genetics, and the patterns of preterm births in the U.S., among others.

As part of Kmart’s ongoing commitment to children’s health and wellness, the retailer will collaborate with March of Dimes for the 29th consecutive year to raise funds to help improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

“We are delighted to have reached such a remarkable fundraising milestone, with $100 million raised, to help improve the health of babies tomorrow,” said Lou D’Ambrosio, CEO and president, Sears Holdings. “Our associates and customers have proven the very principle on which March of Dimes was founded—that many people giving a little can make a tremendous impact. But, we can’t stop here. We challenge everyone to contribute in some way today, one small act of kindness, because together we can make an enormous difference.”

As the March of Dimes’ longest-standing corporate supporter, the two organizations have helped achieve a six percent decline According to March of Dimes. in the premature birth rate, yet more than 1,400 babies are born prematurely every day. In fact, the rate of premature birth in the U.S. has increased According to March of Dimes.  by 36 percent in the last 25 years, proving that there is still much work to be done.

“Kmart has been a cornerstone of March of Dimes since we began our formal relationship many years ago,” said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of March of Dimes. “The $100 million raised by Kmart has helped March of Dimes fund remarkable medical advances and successful programs of education, community-level services and advocacy to improve infant survival in the U.S. Thanks to the continued support of Kmart’s customers and associates, we are able to help improve the health for mothers and babies around the nation.”

To celebrate this achievement, Kmart and March of Dimes held a special event today at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute, the historic home of the late Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, who helped found March of Dimes. The event featured speeches from Deidra Merriwether, SVP, Chief Operating Officer – Sears and Kmart formats, Dr. Jennifer Howse, President, March of Dimes and Kristina Theiss Manganiello, a mother of premature twins, who shared her inspiring story. The event also included 100 moms and dads who represent those who have been helped by the $100 million raised by Kmart and countless babies who have benefitted.

For the 20th consecutive year, Kmart also is a national sponsor for the annual March for Babies® walks, which will take place this spring in 900 communities across the country. This year, March of Dimes anticipates that more than seven million people will walk to raise money and awareness to give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. Since 1970, the March for Babies has raised $2 billion to benefit all babies.

Kmart encourages people to support March of Dimes by participating in their local March for Babies walk or by making a donation at any Kmart store nationwide through June 23, 2012.
